Why do Origin Access get early play of ME:A and pre order doesn't?

The title is pretty much self explanatory. I preordered the game as soon as it was announced and it kind of rubs me wrong that people with "access" get to play it a full 4 days or so before I do when...

    It's an incentive to get people to subscribe. A marketing trick.

When you think about it, you preorder a game to get in game incentives but still can only play it at launch.

But if you give EA $5 or more, you get to play it early and keep what you earned to progression at launch.

Remember also that PlayStation people don't get EA access at all. Only on PC and Xbox one. Where's the fair in that either.

Gotta love marketing stunts for EA. Even though you get other things for a little extra moola.

It is an option, a choice, with a bonus of getting early acces. I do not see a problem here. It is a bonus for paying EA extra money, smart marketing trick. Do not forget you get acces to a lot of other games as well for free, while being subscribed. The same bonus goes for new upcoming titles as well.

I payed the fee for a month, got 10% discount on the game, got early acces and progress saved to full game.

Do not forget to cancel your subscription in time!! Or you will be charged for another month :P
